The leader of the CHP, Özgür Özel, was joined at a rally he organized in Yozgat by farmers who had protested for Ekrem İmamoğlu using tractors and had received traffic fines for their actions. Özel drove the tractor at the front of the convoy as he arrived at the rally site after paying the farmers' traffic fines.
The İBB President Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was suspended from duty after being arrested, is being held today in Yozgat for the "Standing Up for the Will of the Nation" rally, which is organized every weekend in a different province of Turkey.
TRACTORS FORMED A CONVOY
Farmers arrived with their tractors for the rally, which will start at 14:00. The long convoy formed by the tractors drew attention.
ENTERED THE SPECIAL AREA BY TRACTOR
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel met with the farmers forming the convoy. Özel arrived at the rally area with the farmers by tractors.
Farmers from Yozgat, who participated in the protests for Ekrem İmamoğlu with their tractors, were fined. Özel stated that the fines imposed on the farmers would be paid by himself and İmamoğlu.
İMAMOĞLU'S MESSAGE
İmamoğlu's message, who is detained in Silivri Prison, was read at the rally. In his message, İmamoğlu used the following expressions:
The tractors of Yozgat have been sowing troubles and harvesting debts for years, and the government has never heard them. Despite all the difficulties our nation has faced, they were patiently waiting to come to the polls.
The government destroyed trust in the state and law in just a few hours on March 19. A great blow was dealt to democracy and the will of the nation.
In the evening, they had my 30-year diploma annulled by an unauthorized board, and in the morning, they detained and arrested me and my friends. They calculated that no one would raise their voice, but the nation stood up and disrupted all their calculations.
